MAN & MACHINE

Greensea develops technology to improve the relationship between man and machine, and to make the work they do together more effective, more efficient, and more powerful.

Technology has allowed us to create powerful new machines. But while advances in sensor technology have made marine vehicles

more capable, they have created an increasingly complex environment for the operator.

Greensea started in 2006 based on the belief that a reliable, operator-friendly, integrated navigation and control system could dramatically improve the work we do with our marine vehicles. Today, we provide practical commercial solutions to make the hard work of the marine industry easier, cheaper, and ultimately more effective—all from the unlikely, yet lovely, location of Richmond, Vermont.

Thank you for the opportunity to share our story. 

A MARINE INDUSTRY OPERATING PLATFORM

OPENSEA is a patent-pending operating platform for the marine industry that transforms current technology investments into powerful vehicle solutions. This mature technology is behind all of Greensea’s products, and has over eight years of use in the field, including on some of the world’s most advanced ROVs. Developed by the offshore-experienced Greensea team, this robust technology was purpose-built to make operations easier and more accurate while minimizing expense and risk.

Greensea’s products are currently running on more than 700 marine vehicles of varying shapes and sizes. Using the OPENSEA software platform, Greensea can provide flexible, scalable navigation and control systems—allowing the same high-quality, reliable products to run on micro-ROVs, large work-class ROVs, submarines, hybrid vehicles, jet-propelled boats, and more. In 2016, Greensea systems will be found throughout the marine industry and around the world.

Diver Autonomy

STIDD RNAV2 AP2 with Greensea’s INS and control products allows divers to pre-plan missions and execute them autonomously.

Tightly integrated navigation and control technologies make vehicles more capable by sharing critical data throughout the system. Centralized data increases awareness for both the vehicle and the operator. This awareness, supported by an easy-to-use interface (we call it Workspace), can dramatically improve productivity.

All Greensea navigation and control systems are integrated using the OPENSEA software platform. OPENSEA unifies Greensea products with sensor technologies from other manufacturers to provide one integrated system for your vehicle. Brian Crist

The Workspace fuses vehicle control, navigation, sensors, diagnostics, and data management into a single screen. For many operators, this means the elimination of screens, computers, and third-party navigation packages. The centralized data framework allows visualization, logging, archival, and playback of all vehicle and payload data, including sonar and video with extension modules. With this powerful work environment, you’ll see a dramatic improvement in the data quality you can mine from every mission.

Greensea’s Workspace is a fully distributed, networked system supporting multiple users, even in different locations. Team members can share vehicle and target data in real-time between local workstations and a field office or remote command stations. Operators can also configure the screen based on their task—drag edges of a window to enlarge or hide areas on the screen.

Balefire is an easy-to-use, advanced vehicle control system for the marine industry. It provides exceptional vehicle stability and maneuverability, allowing operators to focus on their mission rather than the vehicle. Using the OPENSEA platform, Balefire provides a stable, robust operating environment while still offering customization. The basic Balefire system can be easily upgraded by adding modules that are installed by simply downloading an update on your topside computer. Balefire comes with a fully integrated Workspace (user interface) to provide the operator with a complete, in-depth view of their system. 

As with all Greensea products, Balefire is delivered as an easy-to-install hardware/software product. Depending on your vehicle, it can be integrated topside or subsea.

The INSpect GS inertial navigation systems (INS) deliver low-cost, accurate navigation with substantially less size, weight, and power requirements than traditional INS products. Using the OPENSEA software engine, the INSpect GS products fuse and filter data from available navigation aiding sensors to produce an accurate and stable navigation estimate that minimizes noise, bias, and variable sensor data rates. Vehicles receive optimized data for position, velocity, heading, altitude, depth, pitch, and roll to support advanced vehicle control.

INSpect GS1 software supports most sensor configurations and is delivered in an OEM format.

INSpect GS4 FOG INS is an easy-to-install, fully-integrated system that can accommodate a wide array of aiding sensors and be upgraded to include Balefire vehicle control.

Increase the accuracy of the INSpect INS with a high-accuracy depth sensor and a fully integrated Doppler Velocity Log (DVL).

“To do it with the waypoint tracking that’s integrated into the Greensea system is pretty simple... You just enter your end points and your start points and away you go, as opposed to having someone write a whole bunch of control code and integrate the DVL. It was a big effort every time we did it, so having it integrated is a big deal for us.”
